Political culture of Germany

The political culture of Germany as of the early 21st century is known for the popular expectation for governments to ensure a degree of social welfare, business and labour corporatism, and a multiparty system dominated by conservative and social democratic forces, with a strong influence of smaller Green, liberal and socialist parties. Coalition governments are predominant on both the federal and the state levels, exemplifying the German desire for consensus politics over one party majority rule as in democracies that follow the Westminster model.
